"The venerable GNU Image Manipulation Program is undergoing a significant transformation. The next major release, version 2.8, will introduce an improved user interface with an optional single-window mode. Although this update is still under heavy development, users can get an early look by compiling the latest source code of the development version from the GIMP's version control repository."

Sometimes I work on a nice big Cintiq, but sometimes I'm forced to work on my laptop. My biggest beef with GIMP is that the toolbox and various palettes take up a lot of screen real estate. Why is the default toolbox so bloody W--I--D--E?
